The Riverman

by Alex Gray

on Tour January 9 - February 15, 2017

Synopsis:

Fans of atmospheric police procedurals will love watching Glasgow vividly come to life with the shocking twists and turns that have made Alex Gray an international bestseller

When a dead body is fished out of Glasgow’s River Clyde the morning after an office celebration, it looks like a case of accidental death. But an anonymous telephone call and a forensic toxicology test give Detective Chief Inspector William Lorimer reason to think otherwise. Probing deeper into the life and business of the deceased accountant, a seemingly upright member of the community, Lorimer finds only more unanswered questions.
What is the secret his widow seems to be concealing? Was the international accounting firm facing financial difficulties? What has become of the dead man’s protégé who has disappeared in New York? And when another employee is found dead in her riverside flat these questions become much more disturbing. Lorimer must cope not only with deceptions from the firm, but also with suspicions from those far closer to home . . .

I have been reading so many new to me authors lately and am really enjoying it. The Riverman is the first book by Alex Gray I have read, but I am planning on reading more by her.

The story is told from different points of view which I always enjoy because it gives a good overview. Alex Gray really knows how to make the suspense drip from the pages and ups the anty with all the plottwists and kept me surprised troughout the book.

This might be the 4rth book in the series, but it is really easy to follow. So you are definately able to read this as stand alone. It is a very exciting read and made me flip the pages till I hit the end.
